"I regret the outcome of this vote. We all share the desire to enable new mothers to form a strong bond with their babies during the period of convalescence after giving birth. However, I am deeply concerned about the economic impact of such a measure, which will cost our country EUR 1.5 billion. During this time of economic crisis, it is not demagogy that will pay the bill. Businesses will not be able to pay it, Member States’ budgets even less so. Such measures could penalise certain careers or put a brake on the employment of young women. Perpetuating a traditional system in which the father brings home the pay and the woman looks after the children, as some would like, is a step backwards. Freedom of choice is also a right for women. The negotiations that will now begin between the 27 Member States in the Council will be difficult."@en1
